U.S. Vetoes U.N. Resolution for Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza
- 05 Jun 2025
On 4th June, 2025, the United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, despite support from 14 of the 15 Council members.
Key Points
- U.S. Position: The U.S. opposed the resolution, stating it failed to condemn Hamas or demand its disarmament and withdrawal from Gaza, which could undermine ongoing ceasefire efforts.
- Humanitarian Crisis: Over 54,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began in October 2023. Aid agencies warn of looming famine and critical shortages in Gaza.
- Israel’s Stand: Israel rejected calls for a permanent ceasefire, citing Hamas' continued presence in Gaza as a threat to peace. It continues its military operations despite international criticism.
- GHF Controversy: The U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is distributing aid, but the U.N. and aid groups refuse to work with it, citing its lack of neutrality and militarization of aid.
- Global Response: A similar resolution is expected to be tabled in the U.N. General Assembly, where no member holds veto power and it is likely to pass.
